6. Controller mode The fixtures are individually addressed (001-497) on a data link and connected to the controller.The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. 6.1 DMX addressing The control panel on the front panel of the fixture allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is defined as the first channel from which the WASH 250 XT will respond to the controller. If you set, for example, the address to channel 5, the WASH 250 XT will use the channel 5 to 20 for control.
Fans The WASH 250 XT is cooled by free axial fans - two in the projector head and one in the base. The speed of the fan (and of course the noise) can be continuously reduced if very quiet performance is required. By the Control Board using the "FAnS” function you can choose 5 types of fan speed operating modes. 7. Stand - alone mode The fixtures on a data link are not connected to the controller but can execute pre-set programs which can be different for every fixture.
8. Functions of the control panel The control panel situated on the front side of the base offers several features. You can simply set the DMX address,master/slave mode, read the number of lamp or unit hours, switch On and Off the lamp, run test, make a reset and also use many functions for setting and service purposes. The main menu of the control panel is accessed by pressing the [Mode] button - press this one so many times until the display shows message "A001" (with actually stored address).
to confirm. If you want address no master or slave, select "d.AbL.". 4. Press the [Mode]- button.Choosen address is shown on the display.

Press [Up] and [Down] keys to select the "Mod1" or "Mod2" sequences. The "Mod1" is suitable for projections on the wall, ceiling or ground without any head-movement, the "Mod2" uses all WASH 250 XT functions and therefore is good for a complete introduction of the fixture.
For example: You have selected program "PrG.3" in this menu and: this fixture is set as a single fixture (master/slave or controller operating)- the fixture will run its program "PrG.3". this fixture is set as a master in a data chain- the fixture will run its program "PrG.3". this fixture is set as a slave in a data chain- the fixture will run its program according to the master(if the master runs its own program "PrG.1", the slave will run its own program "PrG.1"also).
8.8 Reset function Press [Enter] button to run a reset. This option enables the WASH 250 XT to index all effects (functions) and return to their standard positions. 8.9 Special functions Use the [Up] and [Down] buttons to browse through the special functions and select the one by pressing [Enter]. Manual control of effects The function allows you to control manually the channel functions of the fixture.
Fixture code The option contains identification code (1-9999) for the fixture, which is used for the master/slave operation. Adjusting the default positions of the colour and CMY By this function you can calibrate and adjust the colour and CMY to their standard/right positions. Use the [Up] and [Down] keys to browse through the adjusting menu - the display shows step by step these messages: "PAn, Tilt,F.Pan,F.
After having calibrated required functions press [Enter] to confirm (or [Mode] to cancel and return to the menu without reset by the "A.rES." function) and use the "A.rES." function in order to write the calibration values to the memory (EEPROM) and to make a reset in order to check the new adjusted positions of the colour and CMY wheels. 9. Error and information messages HEAt This message appears if you try to switch on the lamp within 5 minutes after having switched it off (the lamp is too hot).

11. Maintenance and cleaning It is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean and that dust, dirt and smoke-fluid residues must not build up on or within the fixture. Otherwise, the fixture‘s light-output will be significantly reduced. Regular cleaning will not only ensure the maximum light-output, but will also allow the fixture to function reliably throughout its life.
12. Appendix 12.1 Changing the power supply settings Both the transformer and the ballast must be connected correctly for the local AC voltage and frequency. The wrong settings can cause poor performance or demage of the moving head.The factory settings are printed next to the power switch. If you want to change the power supply settings,follow the instructions: 1.Disconnect the fixture from AC power. 2.Remove the top base cover (closest to the power cord) by loosening the 6 screws. 3.
